The US is the worst case since the US boomer personality and culture make impossible for the most basic actions
-US bible thumpers who believe god will protect them from the virus
-Most of the US adults especially boomers have a toddler like rebellious attitude when being told what to do / refusal to follow medical direction from experts
-Conservative religious types lead to junk science beliefs over time especially when combined with political haymaking (Libs want to brainwash your kids into believing evolution!)
-The GOP managed to turn the defiance into a political issue / Trigger the libs by not wearing a mask
-Serving Capital above all else, Open it back up and won't someone think of the landlords!

The city's been playing this game for months now. They keep loosening restrictions by moving to different "phases". Soon we'll be in Phase 3.3! Despite the science developing since the phases were conceived and the crisis worsening, we're removing restrictions all the time. The city is encouraging tourists to come visit again.

And then every 2 or 3 weeks some bar (or event in this case) will get dragged on Twitter for having too many people and the city will make a big show of having inspectors closing it down, but they're just following signals from the top, which are "Open 'er up. Back to business!"

Local Idiot Mike DeWine pissed away all the goodwill of a decent response in the beginning, so the best he can do now is threaten to turn counties purple and tell people we must be vigilant against the virus because it's sneaky and cunning, but it's not in our schools!

It makes me really sad that there really has been no consistent and realistic guidance from the federal government in the US for months. They're not even able to react to anecdotal information.

Has anyone ever said publicly to wear your mask so it covers your mouth and nose? That face shields don't work without a mask? That this poo poo is loving AIRBORNE so that's what you need to consider when you're in public?

Holy gently caress everybody is so stupid on this loving planet. I hope the virus wins.

Heuristics are a hell of a drug, but it also doesn't help that official sources explicitly spread technocratic bullshit. Like the airborne vs. not airborne, masks might increase your chance of infection or schools don't spread infections.

Yeah, we'll see what they cook up.

The city has been leaving it up to the krewes of each parade about whether they roll next year. With the exception that the krewes who cancel will not lose their spots in future Mardi Grases. (Every parade is run by an autonomous krewe organization that does their parades on the same day at the same time every year. Normally not rolling one year would leave your spot open on the roster for some other krewe to jump in and steal it.)

Already a lot of krewes have canceled for 2021, but some of them are chudlier than others.

I'm sure they'll cancel the balls, but I wouldn't be surprised if the city tries to thread the needle and do something stupid that allows a shitload of tourists to flood the French Quarter and spit in each other's mouths for a week.

There are a few options depending on your choices:

1. Half mask or full face? You'll have to get eye protection if you go with the half mask. Consider this choice carefully if you wear glasses.

2. Are your filters at risk for getting wet? Like in the rain, or catching an errant spray of water as you pass by the dish pit? Some filters can get wet, but some can't

3. Do you need to make sure you can be heard clearly? If so, you might want to get one that has a speaking diaphragm (or whatever it is they're called)

I’m in nyc

I went into a worksite today for the first time since March

no one was wearing a mask, social distancing, nothing. but, they had a lot of fancy signs and hand sanitizer!!! literally no one, saw five people who worked there, all in the same room, just going hog wild

the director of the place came out of his office, saw myself and my fellow worker with masks, and immediately fished in his packet for his. saw him again later, no mask

folks, this isn’t gonna work out

E: Ehh, gonna correct myself here, as some masks have integrated filters (like the Envo mask).

The filters are independent from the masks, so if I understand your question correctly: no.
